haptikan
Haptikan is a term that appears in some discussions of tactile and kinesthetic feedback within human–computer interaction and virtual reality. It is not a standardized term with a single formal definition, but in certain sources it denotes a class of haptic experiences that aims to integrate multiple sensory channels to convey richer tactile information.
In practice, haptikan may refer to systems that combine vibrotactile actuators, force feedback, and kinesthetic cues
Applications of haptikan-inspired approaches include medical simulation and training, teleoperation of robotic systems, surgical rehearsal, virtual
Research and development in haptikan often focus on reducing latency, increasing the spatial and intensity resolution
